About this file

This is an exhibit to a lease template that establishes provisions for net-of-utilities rental arrangements in federal real property leases. Exhibit H applies to situations where the Government pays separately for utilities such as electricity and/or gas, or where the lease excludes janitorial services from the rental consideration. The exhibit requires that utilities be separately metered with individual meters for Government usage only, with sub-meters prohibited and proration not permissible. The lessor must furnish written verification of meter numbers to the Lease Contracting Officer prior to occupancy. For Government-paid electrical service, office space controlled by a single switch or automatic light control system is limited to no more than 500 square feet. The exhibit mandates that automatic air or water economizer cycles be installed on all air handling equipment, and buildings larger than 10,000 ABOA square feet with the Government as sole or predominant tenant must have fully functional building automation systems with service and maintenance contracts.

Additional requirements include submission of a professional engineer's statement certifying that HVAC, plumbing, and energy-intensive building systems comply with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.1 or applicable state and local energy codes. The lessor must develop and implement a Building Operating Plan by the lease commencement date, including schedules for startup and shutdown times for lighting, HVAC, and plumbing systems. The document was created in February 2026 and is intended for use with GSA lease template L100 for net-of-utilities arrangements. This exhibit is part of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency's Request for Lease Proposals (CSOSA-L-26-0001a1) for minimum 18,884 to maximum 20,000 BUSF of space.
